I've posted about this before because I own both a C5 and a C7 can actually speak to the high and low points of both. To each, his own, fellas. We all have different tastes and means by which to fulfill them. I bought a slightly used '14 Z51 C7 as my dd and have loved every minute of it over the past year and ~20k miles. It's truly a pleasure to drive and gets far more attention than my C5 ever did, which I still own and love. I like the C7 so much I'm considering moving up to a Z06 but I'd like to see what the mid-engine version looks like first if and when it arrives. Denigrate it all you want but it's one of the best selling gens to date and the new GS has been proclaimed the best Vette ever due to its excellent balance. 
Just like with the C6, there will always be those who won't take to the new gen. I certainly don't take it personally but I would like to thank the C7 design team for continuing to push the envelope of looks and performance.
Here's JBSBlownC5's new '17 Z06/Z07 in Black Rose Metallic. Spectacular machine!

I'd like to have a C7, but the thought of parting with that much money along with the fact they would give me a ridiculously low amount for my C5 keeps the C5 in the garage. Besides I really do like my C5 - it has been a trouble free car for the 7+ years I have owned it, has classic styling, still puts a smile on my face when I drive it and best of all, it is paid for.

I think that's a car I'll own in about 5 years when I can pick up a nice Garage Queen 2LT vert for less than $30k.

My next vette will either be a 03/04 MYZ, a new C7GS or C7Z. If there is another.
Forgot to ad...if you see user name 7GenVettes U know what it wasn't the MYZ.

I really wanted a C7, too. Even had sale ads posted for my FRC. Decided I couldn't swallow the price for one while trying to get a house, even with my GM discount. So I modded my C5 to make C7 power :p Hopefully that'll scratch the itch for a couple more years.
